mtERE the lie is: she doesn’t school at home anymore. She is in an ethereal white office somewhere in Europa. And her offspring is a random bunch of super agents. The „vintage clothing theme“ is just a costume to cover...
If you need to have a job title for the fancier or formal occasions, and you don’t want to use “RUclipsr”, here’s a suggestion: I’m a fashion historian, I write books and make video content related to fashion history. Because you do, and it also sounds a bit more formal than RUclipsr.
Imagine how much duller life would be without people who simply entertain others. Imagine no movies, writers of fiction, comedians, etc. These are very important jobs. There's nothing wrong at all with being a RUclipsr.
hi hello yes you're a BABE and so talented and amazing and i'm HERE FOR YOU IF YOU EVER WANNA RANT ABOUT RUclips'S SHIZ TOGETHER, hahahaha also it makes me feel so MUCH better to hear you don't like the act of sewing because I don't either 😂 The end product and being proud of what you made? Hell yes. The actual act of sewing? hell NO
You have to do a video where you are a 18th century aristocrat that does brand deals...😂😂😂😂 Like: Look at this lace, I also heard Marie Antoinette wears it! My tea? Use code Boston to get rid of the tax...
You don't have to put out sewing videos just because you sew, or because your channel is about clothing. There are other people who do that. Your channel has something different to cover on that same topic, and other people don't do that. You have your niche and everyone loves you. Whether it's silly and fun or technical and educational, keep doing what you're doing.
I didn't realize she didn't like sewing until this video, and honestly, it makes me feel much better!! I love knitting, crocheting, and so many other crafts, but sewing is frustrating for some reason.
It's exactly what I was thinking as well when she brought this up! Fashion historian, working on videos for education purpose. It's like, a perfect answer because it's both true and steps around the potentially poorly received "I'm a youtuber"
Ooooo, MemeMom, I feel you so much on the "Filming Sewing Takes F o r e v e r" vibes. It would be so much faster to make projects without it 😅 (but filming sewing videos is what makes me smile, so I guess it must be worth it to me 😜). I loved seeing all that you've done in the past year, and congratulations on the office space!
Honestly, I think you could say you're a Fashion-history focused RUclipsr with pride. Adding your specialization gives it more of an offical sound! Also, I'm so grateful you're a responsible RUclipsr with sponsorship. A lot of popular RUclipsrs are so . . . wasteful and contribute so much to the toxic world of capitalistic, anti-environmental industry full of big corporations that don't really care about the well-being of our world. ❤️
Honestly I think that you have less subscribers than others because you keep your videos really honest and focused and you focus on educating a specific audience. It’s not a bad thing at all!
Say you're a historical interpreter! That's what my friend does and no one ever knows what she means (though she works at historical villages and things, sometimes in costume). They always nod and are like, "ah, yes, history, mmm, that's cool".

A few years back the YT algorithm INSISTED I watch one of your videos, and then I stayed for your personality and creativity. I can't even say how glad I am you're not collaborating left and right and jumping on all opportunities because I feel like we've lost too many creators to that already (I watch a lot of art channels).
*Karolina's accomplishments in 2019:* smart stuff, lots of work and projects *My accomplishments in 2019:* Meme Mom has noticed me in the comments... *twice!*
I love how genuine you are! You are so relatable and that's why I watch your content. And I admire how you choose integrity and being true to yourself over exposure and money. Mad respect for you on that. Keep it up! The first video I watched from you was the 1920's Karen! The video was so much fun but as I read the comments and noticed the fans making inner jokes like calling you meme mom and things like that, it made me want to belong to thia comunity. Hope 2020 brings you a lot more success and happiness!! Happy holidays!
I’m really happy that the thought of recording makes you smile, because watching your videos makes me (us!) smile too. And I really like how you talk to “us” rather than “the camera”, idk it feels all genuine and makes me feel glad that I’m a subscriber ❤️
Your content is such a breath of fresh air. Your honesty and passion for fashion history is not only informative, but incredibly satisfying to watch. I'm looking forward to further instalments on your 1920s Fashion Encylopedia series and, really, anything you want to put out. It's all incredibly satisfying to watch.
Hey, Meme Mom, if you start asking for money on Patreon or smth, like, some of us would like to give you that self-esteem boost any time you make some amazing videos. Your content is like, really good and worth it for us regulars, never trust the machine *entirely* to tell you what's great and what isn't. Your stuff is great.
@@mustafacom6378 You mean like merchandise? Sure, a coffee mug will do, I'm getting one actually. However, I've seen other RUclipsrs cite Patreon as a means to secure a more regular income of sorts, so, I stand by the initial suggestion too.
Meme mom: it’s messy, I don’t want people to see what I’m doing. Proceeds to verbally tear apart all of her beautiful creations. Your content is original, inspiring, funny and honest. Don’t you dare stop! 💜
Hey Karolina! So glad to see you are having fun here on RUclips. It's always a good day for me when I can watch a new video from you! Rather than tape your process of sewing, which does take up a lot of space, maybe you could instead talk about your process of designing a new outfit. Where do you do your research? Who do you go to for the best tea about the fashions of the time period? I think that would be a very helpful video for people thinking about reenacting. Speaking of helpful, rather than watch acres of video about sewing an entire outfit, I tend to look for quick clips about a particular problem or technique. That could help your own sewing video dilemma.
Meme mom, I only found you in September (I think) and watched all your uploads in like a week 😬 then I was sad because nothing on youtube was good anymore! Love your content and love the fact that you're the only Polish person I can listen to talking in English and it doesn't give me The Cringe. PS kończę właśnie pierwsza książkę i niedługo kupuje drugą! Wesołych świąt ❤️
Job Title: Historical Information Provider. I really like your channel and the information that you provide. I am with you, me sewing is never a good picture.
People see old clothes and think Nazi. One of my friends from High school who's family has a very similar interests but more for American clothes git called a Nazi for wearing WW2 officer's outfit. It was an American uniform...
I get that one! Poland’s vintage scene is allowed to portrait Naziesque military fashion and there is interest to honor the WW2 time, being a direct neighbor to Germany, there are many similarities as well. Now put a ocean between the continents.... and people can’t tell the difference between both countries and anything european that’s 30‘s to 40‘s suddenly becomes a Nazi thing. I live in Germany and especially this era is just off the table for me (you cannot be aware of ‚our‘ history and still feel comfortable in 1930‘s clothes, no matter how beautiful and awesome, without feeling uneasy and wrong XD I‘m a little jealous
@@Philemaphobia I guess I could understand that sentiment around military fashion but what does anything Karolina wear or do have to do with the military? Everyday fashion has nothing to do with politics (usually). Or at least it's only very tangentially related as in "oh we shun this look because so and so wore it, but we love this because someone popular wore it." Fashion history tends to be very divorced from the events going on in the world at the time people wore certain styles. The only thing I can think of besides military uniforms that has any direct connection to ww2 is the lack of silk for hosiery. By the 1930's a lot of fashion was international so German women were wearing the same kind of clothing English women were wearing and if people make connections between what a typical 1930's woman was wearing and an evil ideology it's super bizarre. I'm more inclined to believe the accusation is because the media has been on a crusade against RUclips and basically implying that everyone that uses this platform is either alt-right or at the very least being indoctrinated/ok with people being indoctrinated which is complete BS. Also the media has been crusading against any kind of nationalist sentiment good or bad and are exceptionally pro-EU imperialism pro-socialist so countries that want to keep their sovereignty like Poland and Hungry, perhaps because of their history of being consumed by a socialist dictatorship, are being painted with a very thick brush as being far-right which isn't fair.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I love the variety of your content, from the more vlog-y/response type videos, to the history/fact heavy videos and then the extremely creative videos where your humor is given full rein. You are so clever and entertaining, thank you.
I think the dilemma of what gets received well vs. what doesn’t is such a big thing for anybody who makes creative content. Obviously videos are a different medium and format, but as a writer it can be really discouraging too... and it goes for personal works, fanfiction, pieces you’ve entered in competitions, pieces you try to get published... no matter the audience, I’m always left scratching my head and going “really? You liked THAT? What about that other long, pensive piece I wrote? No? Just that comedy I typed out in an hour? Alright then.”
Twoje stroje zawsze wyglądają dla mnie imponująco, zachęciło mnie to do poczytania więcej na temat ubrań z innych epok. Pewnie dla wielu widzów to co robisz jest epickie, dzięki za włożoną pracę w informatywne filmiki
Multiple videos with over a million views IS an accomplishment!!! And one you deserve! I've been watching for a while and I love your candor, humor, sense of fun and, of course, style! I dress like a total bum but have long been fascinated with historical dress and costuming (which is probably how RUclips came to recommend your channel to me in the first place!). Most of what I watch on RUclips is completely different than the content I create!
the video about Glamour not being historically accurate is the first video I found from you. I was an instant subscriber, and you unlocked a whole, vintage, side of youtube I didn't even know existed! Thank you so much for your content.
I literally LOVE all your clothes you make, you’re pointing out so many flaws and I’m just here like wow...please can we see more of them! Not necessarily the sewing videos, just the end products because they are incredible!!!
I loved hearing your thoughts about your year. Doubling your subscribers is a huge achievement! I so enjoy your videos, your sense of humour, and especially your educational content. I learn so much from you that informs my own making. You are valid as a costuber even without posting sewing videos. You talk about costuming and historical accuracy, you film in costume, and you have so much knowledge to share. I really value what you do. Thanks for being you!
Lol You're sooo critic to your work! You're such an excellent teacher of fashion History, and you're so detailed that, for me, it's such a pleasure to watch your videos
I'm so glad I found your channel, I know I speak for many when I say I appreciate all you do. One thing I really admire is your speaking style. Some videos are hard to watch because it feels like they are trying too hard, you on the other hand are so easy to listen to. Thank you! ❤️
You know, I love you and your channel and really never thought or felt it needed "more sewing" videos because I LOVE LOVE LOVE your shit talking, historical rambling, and SKITS oh... lady I LIVE for your skits and short little movies. (Is the Witch coming back or is she still happily reading on that bench?) Especially the period ones. Ugh. You're such a fantastic person.
Totally understand the sewing being a pain in the butt! I have fibromyalgia, so sewing is really exhausting for me. Don't regret not being able to make videos of the stripey dress. It was wonderful to see the finished product. Also, hook and eye tape might help?? You can cut it as short as you need and it has a semi stiff backing for support. "Making of" videos are some of my favourites to watch - they aren't tutorials, just creators documenting trying to make stuff. It'd pretty fun to watch you sass at a project, like the flower crown! Maybe timelapses? Always love your videos and can't wait for more content next year ☺️ love you big! ❤🥳
I discovered your channel this year via a random RUclips recommendation and subscribed halfway through the first video. You have a lot of passion for your subject, you have a great sense of humor, your editing skills are top-notch, you always do your research, and I genuinely find your content fascinating. I've never been much of a fashion fellow, but I did minor in history and your insights are very intriguing. In short, I think you're brilliant. It probably sounds silly, but my personal metric of media success is: "I'm some random bloke from Ohio. If I know who you are and would buy you a round in thanks for your work, you've done alright. That's a pretty good worldly reach." :-P I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season, Ms. Zebrowska. Thank you for all your artistic endeavors this year.
In my eyes you are an artist. Your primary media is video, but you have also successfully ventured into still-life on fabric and have published a book or two. I say you are an artist because each time I come here I am gently challenged (in a good way, like real art challenges me) to look again at some aspect of life and to appreciate it in a new way. In my eyes, you are a master of your craft. I remember an early video, (I had to search through your archive to find the name) London, Chattsworth, Haworth. The storytelling (with no words, just music) was wonderful. You have a gift in your ability to choose material and to edit effectively. I watched the story of exploration unfold. I wanted to be there. I felt like I was there. I wondered at how different worlds can be. And when the video was done, I felt happy. You have grown as an artist. You use skits, historical circumstances, and wonderful costuming to open up dialogues about society and culture. Good art offers us a way to participate, not just sit on the sidelines of life. Whether it is a challenge to create a stripey dress, or a humorous observation about good manners, you offer gateways to participation. And I appreciate that.
I don’t want to repeat what a lot of other people have said but I’ve learned SO much just from watching your channel and your short skits always make me laugh. Please don’t get too discouraged- you are doing a wonderful job and I will keep watching no matter what you do :)
I started watching you a little more than a year ago and you're the whole reason why I started sewing historical costumes. I originally started watching your vintage hair tutorials and got hooked when I saw the regency GRWM. When it comes to sewing costumes I'm the opposite of you, I love the processes of sewing and learning new techniques, but I have yet to wear them in public.
I'm so happy to have found your videos this year - they're entertaining and I learn a lot from them! Congratulations on a great 2019 and best wishes for an even better 2020!
I love it so so much that you don't do any ads or that kind of stuff, or even patreon. You are so genuine and completely here for us and we love you for it!!
The 1608 haul was just...gold. I watched and rewatched and rewatched. The cough in the end however should be a second longer. Also, I'm half polish so I feel rather pleased with myself that I can understand both your English and Polish videos😜😘
you are hilarious; the picture at the 'my nudes' link made me snort potato chips out of my nose. i thoroughly enjoyed spending 2019 with you and look forward to 2020.
Soooo.....I’m a Grandma in Seattle. Nobody special. But your channel enhances my little life. Thank you for the laughs. The tea breaks I take to watch your latest video. The things I learn. The smiles you give me because I, too, love The Past. I know a channel is a lot of work, so thanks for that. You’re beautiful and bright and fun. I wish you a wonderful new year. XOjennyinseattle

That’s very sweet, thank you so much! ❤️ Hope you enjoy next videos ☺️
Girl, I love all your videos. From the educational ones to the more meme related ones. You keep doing what you find fun and what YOU think is a fun video to make. Seeing you enjoy yourself really comes across in a video. i can't wait what you come up with in 2020 :) happy holidays.
Dear Karolina, I started watching a few of your videos as they were suggested to me after I started following Rachel Maksy. I've never learned to sew and I don't know anyone who would have the patience to teach me, but your passion inspired me so much, and that's not me at all! I'm bad with using my hands (I'm more brainy - I like books and ideas), but that's probably because I'm not patient enough. I'd love to make clothes for my future children or even create something and give it as a gift to a loved one. That's an awesome "superpower". :P I share your love of history so it was a perfect way to introduce me to fashion in a way I can enjoy (because I don't care all that much about what people's wearing - but for some reason I'm now fascinated by the process involved in creating something on my own). I admire your work and I admire how much you care about improving your craft. ❤ AND I knew you were Polish, I heard the accent (my half-polish husband never learned the language unfortunately as his mother didn't either - she grew up in France - but we made friends with amazing Polish people and they had a similar (stronger) accent. Beautiful language, food and culture! We'll visit Poland someday that's for sure!). PS: As a translator I had to talk about that; languages and cultures are my true passion. 😋
It’s been so much fun to watch your channel grow. You’re doing great, and own it, girl! You ARE a RUclipsr and be proud because you’re a really good one! Can’t wait to see what your content will be this new year!
That description of the typical RUclipsr is hilarious. By the way I first found your channel watching the Victorian Time Traveler who decided to go back to her own time after seeing modern fashion.
Love ya! Been with you for a few years because you once taught me how to do my hair in an old style and loved your personality right away. Here's to growing more and more and memeing into the stars!
I love how very real you are in this video! I mean, you're always real, but you add so much humor, which we all love, but for this video it was purely you. Very honest without exaggeration. And I really love that you did a summary of your creations!!!!! It goes to show that we don't have to sew perfectly to achieve successful costumes (or daily wear for that matter!) Thanks for all you do!!!💜😍
Thank you, Karolina, for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. You really got a lot done this year, with all of the sewing and THE BOOK! All the best for the New Year.
I subscribed mainly because of your personality and the historical context you offer was secondary. It may not mean a whole lot as a random internet person, but it is quite the feat to convince a fashion challenged person such as myself to consider the subscribe button. Please keep the honesty, sarcasm and introspection rolling as it is an oasis among the cliche.
You could make sewing vlogs where you pick up the camera in between steps and talk about the processes (what you’re doing/just did, things that are going well, problems and solutions, etc.) and show a little bit of time lapse. It would be a lot less intense than a tutorial. Angela Clayton and Costuming Drama have good examples of this. They can be project-specific or following a timeline.
At the end of 2019, we had NO IDEA what was coming next. I see my life as divided between "before pandemic" and "after pandemic", so 2019 seems like Paradise in disguise.
Girl. I’ve done strictly music for 5 years now, and it took me about 3-4 of those years to even accept that it was an actual job. I had people telling me it wasn’t a real job, and I needed another job, but I literally work sooooo much, and I made enough to finally move to Nashville this year. But I still struggle telling people what I do too. I laugh when I say it. 😂 I’m glad you said this, and I’m not alone in that awkward feeling of like... almost guilt that I do something fun for a living.
Really love listening to and watching your videos (even if I don't understand a word, i.e. when spoken Polish), your enthusiasm and humor and creations, thanks and - in advance - merry christmas & a happy, successful 2020!
You are so intriguing! Your job tittle should include fashion educator, film star, and re-enactor. I really love seeing you in your outfits, one that stood out was just you sitting in a room (maybe Finland). It brought the the atmosphere of the time to life!
We are all spiritual beings having a human experience and thank you dear child for sharing yourself with us!! It’s your personality that makes me want to watch everything you create!! I call you a light worker!! Love from Washington State!! 🍓💃🏼
Just met you tonight and subscribed. I don't sew anymore, but watching a series by a seamstress for a ballet troup, the modifying test pattern for each ballerina's bodice was very enlightening.
Been living in Australia for over ten years now... it's about 40°C as I write this and all I have is a sad little fan... and those shots of you ice-skating were downright MAGICKAL!!!! My brain is like "How so much ice exist that you can stand on it??? How?" 🤯😱🤪😵
Even if you cannot film the actual sewing process, I really look forward to seeing all your new vintage clothing sewing projects. By the way if someone asks what you do for a living, hou could say “ I film and produce video content about accurate vintage clothing for RUclips.” that’s an awesome job!
Random person: „What is your job?“
Karolina: „I‘m a mom. I homeschool my countless children via internet.“
where is the lie?
mtERE the lie is: she doesn’t school at home anymore. She is in an ethereal white office somewhere in Europa. And her offspring is a random bunch of super agents. The „vintage clothing theme“ is just a costume to cover...
Bina Turtle omg hahahaha! You cracked me up!
@@missrobinhoodie Now I want a series about this. That's a truly clever concept!
Karolina, and your comment, were SO AHEAD of their time. 2020 schooled us ALL.
If you need to have a job title for the fancier or formal occasions, and you don’t want to use “RUclipsr”, here’s a suggestion:
I’m a fashion historian, I write books and make video content related to fashion history.
Because you do, and it also sounds a bit more formal than RUclipsr.
Yeah, RUclips is the format, not the content. Book, film, speeches, consulting, etc, are all formats for the actual "job."
@@sebeckley the medium is the message though
Excuse me, but nothing is needed but “meme Mom to many, loved by all.”

Rather than tape your process of sewing, which does take up a lot of space, maybe you could instead talk about your process of designing a new outfit. Where do you do your research? Who do you go to for the best tea about the fashions of the time period? I think that would be a very helpful video for people thinking about reenacting.
Speaking of helpful, rather than watch acres of video about sewing an entire outfit, I tend to look for quick clips about a particular problem or technique. That could help your own sewing video dilemma.
“Not handsome enough to temp me” hahahahah I see you girl.
Another year of meme mom giving us the content we don’t deserve but didn’t know we were craving for
Sissi hahaha!
Meme mom, I only found you in September (I think) and watched all your uploads in like a week 😬 then I was sad because nothing on youtube was good anymore! Love your content and love the fact that you're the only Polish person I can listen to talking in English and it doesn't give me The Cringe. PS kończę właśnie pierwsza książkę i niedługo kupuje drugą! Wesołych świąt ❤️
Job Title: Historical Information Provider. I really like your channel and the information that you provide. I am with you, me sewing is never a good picture.
MBS Brown HIP if you will!
>people thought I was a Nazi
Excuse me

Hail *Meme-Mom*
People see old clothes and think Nazi. One of my friends from High school who's family has a very similar interests but more for American clothes git called a Nazi for wearing WW2 officer's outfit.
It was an American uniform...
I get that one! Poland’s vintage scene is allowed to portrait Naziesque military fashion and there is interest to honor the WW2 time, being a direct neighbor to Germany, there are many similarities as well. Now put a ocean between the continents.... and people can’t tell the difference between both countries and anything european that’s 30‘s to 40‘s suddenly becomes a Nazi thing.
I live in Germany and especially this era is just off the table for me (you cannot be aware of ‚our‘ history and still feel comfortable in 1930‘s clothes, no matter how beautiful and awesome, without feeling uneasy and wrong XD I‘m a little jealous
There are pictures of her around people wearing Nazi uniforms as part of a historical recreation thingy, totally benign but misinterpreted
@@Philemaphobia I guess I could understand that sentiment around military fashion but what does anything Karolina wear or do have to do with the military? Everyday fashion has nothing to do with politics (usually). Or at least it's only very tangentially related as in "oh we shun this look because so and so wore it, but we love this because someone popular wore it." Fashion history tends to be very divorced from the events going on in the world at the time people wore certain styles. The only thing I can think of besides military uniforms that has any direct connection to ww2 is the lack of silk for hosiery. By the 1930's a lot of fashion was international so German women were wearing the same kind of clothing English women were wearing and if people make connections between what a typical 1930's woman was wearing and an evil ideology it's super bizarre.
I'm more inclined to believe the accusation is because the media has been on a crusade against RUclips and basically implying that everyone that uses this platform is either alt-right or at the very least being indoctrinated/ok with people being indoctrinated which is complete BS. Also the media has been crusading against any kind of nationalist sentiment good or bad and are exceptionally pro-EU imperialism pro-socialist so countries that want to keep their sovereignty like Poland and Hungry, perhaps because of their history of being consumed by a socialist dictatorship, are being painted with a very thick brush as being far-right which isn't fair.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I love the variety of your content, from the more vlog-y/response type videos, to the history/fact heavy videos and then the extremely creative videos where your humor is given full rein. You are so clever and entertaining, thank you.
"all of the ads required me to make a phone call and that was kid of a really big no-no" - this happens to me way too often
“This is your meemaw.” Well done, auto captions.
I think the dilemma of what gets received well vs. what doesn’t is such a big thing for anybody who makes creative content. Obviously videos are a different medium and format, but as a writer it can be really discouraging too... and it goes for personal works, fanfiction, pieces you’ve entered in competitions, pieces you try to get published... no matter the audience, I’m always left scratching my head and going “really? You liked THAT? What about that other long, pensive piece I wrote? No? Just that comedy I typed out in an hour? Alright then.”
Twoje stroje zawsze wyglądają dla mnie imponująco, zachęciło mnie to do poczytania więcej na temat ubrań z innych epok. Pewnie dla wielu widzów to co robisz jest epickie, dzięki za włożoną pracę w informatywne filmiki
Doubling your subscribers is a great accomplishment even if it’s a small number.
Holly Brooke and tbh that’s not a small number
"all of the ads required me to make a phone call and that was really a no no" meme mom being relatable
Multiple videos with over a million views IS an accomplishment!!! And one you deserve! I've been watching for a while and I love your candor, humor, sense of fun and, of course, style! I dress like a total bum but have long been fascinated with historical dress and costuming (which is probably how RUclips came to recommend your channel to me in the first place!). Most of what I watch on RUclips is completely different than the content I create!
the video about Glamour not being historically accurate is the first video I found from you. I was an instant subscriber, and you unlocked a whole, vintage, side of youtube I didn't even know existed! Thank you so much for your content.
I literally LOVE all your clothes you make, you’re pointing out so many flaws and I’m just here like wow...please can we see more of them! Not necessarily the sewing videos, just the end products because they are incredible!!!
I loved hearing your thoughts about your year. Doubling your subscribers is a huge achievement! I so enjoy your videos, your sense of humour, and especially your educational content. I learn so much from you that informs my own making. You are valid as a costuber even without posting sewing videos. You talk about costuming and historical accuracy, you film in costume, and you have so much knowledge to share. I really value what you do. Thanks for being you!
Lol You're sooo critic to your work! You're such an excellent teacher of fashion History, and you're so detailed that, for me, it's such a pleasure to watch your videos
I'm so glad I found your channel, I know I speak for many when I say I appreciate all you do. One thing I really admire is your speaking style. Some videos are hard to watch because it feels like they are trying too hard, you on the other hand are so easy to listen to. Thank you! ❤️
You know, I love you and your channel and really never thought or felt it needed "more sewing" videos because I LOVE LOVE LOVE your shit talking, historical rambling, and SKITS oh... lady I LIVE for your skits and short little movies. (Is the Witch coming back or is she still happily reading on that bench?) Especially the period ones. Ugh. You're such a fantastic person.
Totally understand the sewing being a pain in the butt! I have fibromyalgia, so sewing is really exhausting for me.
Don't regret not being able to make videos of the stripey dress. It was wonderful to see the finished product. Also, hook and eye tape might help?? You can cut it as short as you need and it has a semi stiff backing for support.
"Making of" videos are some of my favourites to watch - they aren't tutorials, just creators documenting trying to make stuff. It'd pretty fun to watch you sass at a project, like the flower crown! Maybe timelapses?
Always love your videos and can't wait for more content next year ☺️ love you big! ❤🥳
I discovered your channel this year via a random RUclips recommendation and subscribed halfway through the first video. You have a lot of passion for your subject, you have a great sense of humor, your editing skills are top-notch, you always do your research, and I genuinely find your content fascinating. I've never been much of a fashion fellow, but I did minor in history and your insights are very intriguing. In short, I think you're brilliant.
It probably sounds silly, but my personal metric of media success is: "I'm some random bloke from Ohio. If I know who you are and would buy you a round in thanks for your work, you've done alright. That's a pretty good worldly reach." :-P I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season, Ms. Zebrowska. Thank you for all your artistic endeavors this year.
In my eyes you are an artist. Your primary media is video, but you have also successfully ventured into still-life on fabric and have published a book or two. I say you are an artist because each time I come here I am gently challenged (in a good way, like real art challenges me) to look again at some aspect of life and to appreciate it in a new way. In my eyes, you are a master of your craft.
I remember an early video, (I had to search through your archive to find the name) London, Chattsworth, Haworth. The storytelling (with no words, just music) was wonderful. You have a gift in your ability to choose material and to edit effectively. I watched the story of exploration unfold. I wanted to be there. I felt like I was there. I wondered at how different worlds can be. And when the video was done, I felt happy.
You have grown as an artist. You use skits, historical circumstances, and wonderful costuming to open up dialogues about society and culture.
Good art offers us a way to participate, not just sit on the sidelines of life. Whether it is a challenge to create a stripey dress, or a humorous observation about good manners, you offer gateways to participation. And I appreciate that.
I don’t want to repeat what a lot of other people have said but I’ve learned SO much just from watching your channel and your short skits always make me laugh. Please don’t get too discouraged- you are doing a wonderful job and I will keep watching no matter what you do :)
I started watching you a little more than a year ago and you're the whole reason why I started sewing historical costumes. I originally started watching your vintage hair tutorials and got hooked when I saw the regency GRWM. When it comes to sewing costumes I'm the opposite of you, I love the processes of sewing and learning new techniques, but I have yet to wear them in public.
I'm so happy to have found your videos this year - they're entertaining and I learn a lot from them! Congratulations on a great 2019 and best wishes for an even better 2020!
I love it so so much that you don't do any ads or that kind of stuff, or even patreon. You are so genuine and completely here for us and we love you for it!!
You are a fashion historian who uses RUclips as your delivery method.
The 1608 haul was just...gold. I watched and rewatched and rewatched. The cough in the end however should be a second longer. Also, I'm half polish so I feel rather pleased with myself that I can understand both your English and Polish videos😜😘
You should show us how you mend damaged antique pieces. :D
you are hilarious; the picture at the 'my nudes' link made me snort potato chips out of my nose. i thoroughly enjoyed spending 2019 with you and look forward to 2020.
Your smile after that 'meme mooom' cured me
Soooo.....I’m a Grandma in Seattle. Nobody special. But your channel enhances my little life. Thank you for the laughs. The tea breaks I take to watch your latest video. The things I learn. The smiles you give me because I, too, love The Past. I know a channel is a lot of work, so thanks for that. You’re beautiful and bright and fun. I wish you a wonderful new year. XOjennyinseattle
That’s very sweet, thank you so much! ❤️ Hope you enjoy next videos ☺️
Girl, I love all your videos. From the educational ones to the more meme related ones. You keep doing what you find fun and what YOU think is a fun video to make. Seeing you enjoy yourself really comes across in a video. i can't wait what you come up with in 2020 :) happy holidays.
I've never been this early to any video. Can't wait to see what you have to show us in the new year Meme Mom!
You're one of the creators I get most excited about when I see new uploads. You've been killing it in 2019, excited to see what you make in 2020!
Dear Karolina, I started watching a few of your videos as they were suggested to me after I started following Rachel Maksy. I've never learned to sew and I don't know anyone who would have the patience to teach me, but your passion inspired me so much, and that's not me at all! I'm bad with using my hands (I'm more brainy - I like books and ideas), but that's probably because I'm not patient enough. I'd love to make clothes for my future children or even create something and give it as a gift to a loved one. That's an awesome "superpower". :P I share your love of history so it was a perfect way to introduce me to fashion in a way I can enjoy (because I don't care all that much about what people's wearing - but for some reason I'm now fascinated by the process involved in creating something on my own). I admire your work and I admire how much you care about improving your craft. ❤
AND I knew you were Polish, I heard the accent (my half-polish husband never learned the language unfortunately as his mother didn't either - she grew up in France - but we made friends with amazing Polish people and they had a similar (stronger) accent. Beautiful language, food and culture! We'll visit Poland someday that's for sure!).
PS: As a translator I had to talk about that; languages and cultures are my true passion. 😋
I'm not sure what a 'meme mom' is supposed to be, but as an historical seamstress I think you're excellent. May 2020 be kind to you.
Just say "I make educational content for an online community."
It’s been so much fun to watch your channel grow. You’re doing great, and own it, girl! You ARE a RUclipsr and be proud because you’re a really good one! Can’t wait to see what your content will be this new year!
That description of the typical RUclipsr is hilarious. By the way I first found your channel watching the Victorian Time Traveler who decided to go back to her own time after seeing modern fashion.
Love ya! Been with you for a few years because you once taught me how to do my hair in an old style and loved your personality right away.
Here's to growing more and more and memeing into the stars!
I love that you combine history and humour. Congratulations on your accomplishments this year. I can't wait for your fashion history books in English.
I love how very real you are in this video! I mean, you're always real, but you add so much humor, which we all love, but for this video it was purely you. Very honest without exaggeration. And I really love that you did a summary of your creations!!!!! It goes to show that we don't have to sew perfectly to achieve successful costumes (or daily wear for that matter!) Thanks for all you do!!!💜😍
"that required a phone call...and that was a big NO NO." Relatable Queen!!
Thank you, Karolina, for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. You really got a lot done this year, with all of the sewing and THE BOOK! All the best for the New Year.
I subscribed mainly because of your personality and the historical context you offer was secondary. It may not mean a whole lot as a random internet person, but it is quite the feat to convince a fashion challenged person such as myself to consider the subscribe button. Please keep the honesty, sarcasm and introspection rolling as it is an oasis among the cliche.
You could make sewing vlogs where you pick up the camera in between steps and talk about the processes (what you’re doing/just did, things that are going well, problems and solutions, etc.) and show a little bit of time lapse. It would be a lot less intense than a tutorial. Angela Clayton and Costuming Drama have good examples of this. They can be project-specific or following a timeline.
At the end of 2019, we had NO IDEA what was coming next. I see my life as divided between "before pandemic" and "after pandemic", so 2019 seems like Paradise in disguise.
I'm cryiiiing, you finally got your stay at an actual castle, you prophesized your own future deal XD
I've found that most of the "youtubers" i enjoy watching are the ones who never intended to be youtubers lol
Found you this year, and I’m here to stay! Love everything you make!
I love your sense of humor along with your "historically accurate" clothes. Will your new book ever be translated into English??
Girl. I’ve done strictly music for 5 years now, and it took me about 3-4 of those years to even accept that it was an actual job. I had people telling me it wasn’t a real job, and I needed another job, but I literally work sooooo much, and I made enough to finally move to Nashville this year. But I still struggle telling people what I do too. I laugh when I say it. 😂 I’m glad you said this, and I’m not alone in that awkward feeling of like... almost guilt that I do something fun for a living.
You look like somebody I saw in a MONSTA X related video.
You have a lot of integrity.
I do think, if a makeup brand ever did a vintage line, it would be so fun for you to review it
Really love listening to and watching your videos (even if I don't understand a word, i.e. when spoken Polish), your enthusiasm and humor and creations, thanks and - in advance - merry christmas & a happy, successful 2020!
You are so intriguing! Your job tittle should include fashion educator, film star, and re-enactor. I really love seeing you in your outfits, one that stood out was just you sitting in a room (maybe Finland). It brought the the atmosphere of the time to life!
I'm sure half the views on the unwanted suitor video are mine. 🤷♀
Other half are me #notsorry
We are all spiritual beings having a human experience and thank you dear child for sharing yourself with us!! It’s your personality that makes me want to watch everything you create!! I call you a light worker!! Love from Washington State!! 🍓💃🏼
Just met you tonight and subscribed. I don't sew anymore, but watching a series by a seamstress for a ballet troup, the modifying test pattern for each ballerina's bodice was very enlightening.
Been living in Australia for over ten years now... it's about 40°C as I write this and all I have is a sad little fan... and those shots of you ice-skating were downright MAGICKAL!!!! My brain is like "How so much ice exist that you can stand on it??? How?" 🤯😱🤪😵
*I'm here for the good unnoticed intellectual content*
I totally get the Sewing-annoys-me-part ^^ I wish I could just create clothing by imagining or drawing it😅
I feel like this about writing I wish all I Imagine would hust write itself 😭🤣
I watch mainly for the historical content. you cover a part of the world and a time period we don't know much about in the U.S. and I enjoy it.
I am so proud of you. It is pretty nice to see someone that still has a lot of integrity on this platform.
Gotta love the meme mom. You know, we will love you even more if you translate your books to english.
A historical content creator is a legit answer to those pesky brown-nosers. Congrats on a big year and cheers to a more fantastic one in 2020!
“I’m a fashion historian, actor, and published author.”
You're very interesting to listen to and i like the intellectual and artistic richness of your content.
Even if you cannot film the actual sewing process, I really look forward to seeing all your new vintage clothing sewing projects. By the way if someone asks what you do for a living, hou could say “ I film and produce video content about accurate vintage clothing for RUclips.” that’s an awesome job!
